Turbinado sugar, often referred to as raw cane sugar, is a minimally processed sweetener made from the first pressing of sugarcane. With its light golden color and coarse crystals, it retains a hint of the natural molasses flavor found in sugarcane. Originating in regions where sugarcane is cultivated, including the Caribbean and Central and South America, it is commonly used in baking, beverages, and as a topping for added crunch and sweetness. Turbinado sugar contains trace amounts of minerals like calcium and potassium due to its less refined nature. However, it is still primarily sucrose and provides similar calories and effects on blood sugar as white sugar. While its slightly lower processing level appeals to some as a more "natural" sugar, moderation is essential, as overconsumption of any added sugar can contribute to health issues like weight gain and tooth decay.
